Here we are in the tent camp in the Sarigua desert during one of our personal photo projects. In the last century the rainforest was cut down for pasture, and the soil eroded down several meters. The Sarigua desert is now a national park. On one hand it is an environmental disaster, on the other hand it is photographically interesting.Øyvind Martinsen

One way to come close to wildlife is from inside a blind. Zizza is inside our doghouse popup camouflage tent near a pond in the Herrera province, Panama. We spent two days here, on a personal project, photographing birds and also landscapes in the lush Panama nature.Øyvind Martinsen

Dinner time! From one of the lodges we use on our photo tours in the rainforests of Panama. After a long day with a lot of photo work and beautiful sightings, it is always nice to relax in a comfortable hammock and enjoy a nice meal surrounded by lush nature! Book your photo adventure in 2018 and experience the Panama nature!Øyvind Martinsen

Two of my Sloth photographs are in this book written by Janet Piehl. The title is “Let’s look at Sloths”. I took the sloth photographs here in Panama. Among several other photographers are Frans Lanting, Kevin Schaefer, Peter Arnold, and Steve Bloom.
